You may also want to check into joining your local Chamber of Commerce.
If you participate in some of the committees or activities, you'll find new ways of getting the word out. Consider donating a basket for an event or events....

One word of caution though. Don't think just joining will get you business. People deal with people they know, like and trust, so get active, get yourself seen as someone willing to help, get to know some of the other members. You'll be amazed what an organization like this can do for your local business.
